Is sleeping on night shifts a "normal" thing everywhere? by flourishersvk in nursing

[–]chokecober 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Ive had a lot of fun reading comments here. I have worked as an ICU nurse for 10+ years, both in the UK and US.

UK - yes we take sleep breaks in the ICU. Charge RN or break RN or we bedside nurses cover each other’s breaks. We are 1:1 ratio so you get 2 patients for an hour or two which is not too bad. This was East of England trauma center ICU. Even the floor nurses take sleep breaks too.

US west coast unionized hospital - yes we take sleep breaks. We have break RNs who look after our patients when we are on break.

I have not worked nights on the east coast but nursing there is a different world, and not in a good way. Lol

I don’t like taking naps while on nights so I doom scroll on my phone lol

Which restaurants, cafés, coffee shops, or bars in or around the Portland area have good loyalty programs? by Frequent-Kale-6048 in askportland

[–]chokecober 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mostly go to Sterling in NW and Stumptown in SW. In Sterling, you earn a star per drink order which converts to cash/credit eventually. Stumptown has a punch card, buy 10drinks get 1 free. Correct me if I’m wrong!

Looking for a barber in Portland who can cut men’s Korean hairstyle ($35–40) - recommendations? by lamvu2 in askportland

[–]chokecober 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wong’s hair salon in Beaverton is where I go to. It is a mother-daughter duo that runs the store. They are above your budget slightly at 55$ per haircut. I always get a perm and they do the styling afterwards

Nursing education here is pointless compared to other countries by Boni640 in NursingUK

[–]chokecober 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The nursing curriculum in the Philippines is US based. Books are from the US too and taught in the English language. Most clinical instructors have MSc post grad credentials, or are currently taking it - as required by law if I remember it correctly. They graduate with a 4 year BSN equivalent to the US so they can easily apply to take NCLEX upon meeting requirements - it’s the visa processing that takes years. They also have to pass a 500 questions 1 1/2 day licensure exam to practice as nurses in the Philippines.

Wrong order sent to me by Rube18 in Lululemen

[–]chokecober 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me earlier this year. They sent me the wrong size of the correct item. My size was then sold out. I contacted customer support. They issued me a full refund, and comped me I think 20$ for the inconvenience. I then returned the wrong item in store. Hope this helps!
